The purpose of these Regulations is to ensure: (a) the safety and suitability of fish and fish products intended for export for human consumption; and (b) the integrity of certification and labelling relating to fish and fish products for export for human consumption. They set out rules relative to: (a) quality of live fish; (b) hygienic conditions of handling, processing and storage of fish and fish products; and (c) packing and labelling of fish and fish products.
The Regulations shall not apply live fish that is not intended for export for human consumption and fish intended for domestic sale if held in a room that is especially set aside for that purpose and no other purpose, and the room does not give direct access to the remainder of the fish premises. Furthermore, they do not apply to fish, or fish products or by-products, whose processing is exempted by the Secretary of the Ministry of Health under these Regulations. The Secretary shall not issue a licence unless satisfied that the fish premises comply with the standards set out in Part 1 of the Schedule to these Regulations. Licences shall be subject to specified conditions. The Regulations further concern, among other things, quality checks, barring of fish from contaminated areas, removal of condemned or retained fish or fish products, transportation of fish and fish products by other persons than licensees, keeping of records, certification of fish exports and specific approvals.
